Do you love meatballs? Well I have to tell you, love meatballs in our house and it doesn’t matter if they are homemade, from the meat section at the grocery store or even if they are frozen! We also love anything that is easy to handle and you can eat with your hands. These Easy Meatball Marinara Cups are just perfect!
They are saucy, cheesy and so good. They start with my favorite Rhodes Frozen Rolls. This recipe could not be easier. I promise your kiddos would love to get their hands dirty and help you make these. They are just that easy! After liberally spraying my muffin tin with cooking spray I put one frozen roll in each cup. I used my favorite jarred marinara sauce, frozen meatballs and those frozen rolls. Using pre made ingredients make this an easy dinner which kids and adults will love.
I let them thaw and while they were cold I simply worked them into about a 4 inch circle and then put them back in the muffin tin pressing the dough up the sides of the cup. Drop one meatball in each cup. Spoon a generous tablespoon of marinara sauce over the top of each meatball. Top with cheese. Bake in 350degree oven for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. These are just that simple to make and so good.
These Easy Meatball Marinara Cups were so good we made them two nights in a row and no one complained that they were the same thing we ate for dinner the night before. I know for sure these will be on our menu on a regular basis! Remember you don’t have to use “pre made” ingredients you can certainly use your own homemade marinara sauce, meatballs and even dough. I love to use ingredients that make my life easier and pre made ingredients are perfect for that!
